Relationship & Couples Therapy
Relationships take work to be successful. If you and your partner are seeking help to improve your connection, orr even want to explore whether the relationship is still working for everyone, you’re in the right place. Here, you’ll find a safe, supportive space to openly share your feelings and challenges without judgment.
You deserve a relationship where all parties feel seen, heard, and valued, and we’re here to help you get there.
What is couples therapy?
Couples therapy, sometimes called marriage counseling or relationship therapy, is a safe space where you and your partner can work together to improve your relationship and resolve the challenges you’re facing. With the guidance of a skilled therapist, you’ll explore what’s causing tension or disconnect and learn practical tools to build a stronger, healthier connection.
Every relationship is unique, so therapy focuses on what matters most to you as a couple. Some of the most common areas we address include:
-
Communication: Learn how to share your needs openly and listen to each other with understanding and respect.
-
Conflict Resolution: Discover ways to resolve disagreements without hurting your connection.
-
Intimacy & Connection: Reignite emotional and physical closeness to deepen your relationship and feel connected.
-
Trust & Forgiveness: Heal from past hurts like betrayal or broken promises and rebuild trust.
-
Managing Life Changes: Navigate major transitions like parenthood or moving in together with confidence.
-
Strengthening Commitment: Clarify your goals as a couple and build a shared vision for your future.
Couples therapy works best when partners are committed to the process and willing to put in the effort. Sessions typically happen weekly or biweekly, and the length of therapy depends on your unique needs and goals.
Imagine walking away from therapy feeling heard, understood, and equipped with new skills that transform how you relate to each other, with more empathy, less frustration, and a partnership that feels more like a true team.

Could therapy help you now?
If you and your partner want to strengthen your relationship, or explore whether it’s still working for both of you, you’ve come to the right place.
Maybe the constant arguments are wearing you down, or the silence between you feels heavier than words. Maybe you're trying to find your way back to the connection you once had. Or perhaps you're starting to wonder what it looks like to separate your lives after building so much together.
Wherever you are in your relationship, we’re here to support you. Therapy can help you communicate more clearly, rebuild trust, navigate conflict, and gain the clarity you need, whether that means moving forward together or redefining what your next chapter looks like.
At Healing Spaces, we know that feeling safe with your therapist matters. That’s why we offer a diverse team of providers: Black, POC, queer, male, and more, so you and your partner can find a therapist who truly understands your values and lived experience. You don’t have to figure this out alone because we’ll walk with you every step of the way.
Getting Started
To begin, you’ll schedule a 90-minute intake session with one of our couples therapy experts.
This extended first session gives your therapist time to understand your relationship history, clarify goals, and meet with each partner individually. The cost of this 90-minute intake is $295. After that, follow-up sessions can be 90 minutes or 60 minutes (priced at $195).
Think of it as an investment in your relationship, and your peace of mind. Improving your communication now can save you years of conflict. Getting on the same page can make parenting, finances, and day-to-day life feel easier and more connected.
While we strongly recommend starting with a 90-minute intake to lay a strong foundation, we understand everyone’s situation is different. If you’d prefer to begin with a 60-minute session, feel free to give us a call and we’ll help you find the right fit!

Improving Connection & Communication
If you're reading this, you might be wondering how couples therapy can help you and your partner build a stronger emotional connection while improving your communication and conflict-resolution skills. Let me break it down for you: couples therapy is a journey of growth and transformation that can bring significant positive changes to your relationship.
In couples therapy, we create a safe and nurturing space for both of you to open up and express yourselves honestly. Over time, relationships can accumulate emotional barriers due to past hurts or unresolved issues. With the guidance of a skilled therapist, we can work through these barriers together, ultimately helping you reconnect on a deeper and more meaningful level.
One of the key benefits of couples therapy is that it helps you and your partner to become more emotionally vulnerable and empathetic toward each other. We will explore techniques that encourage active listening, validate each other's feelings, and express your emotions without fear of judgment. These tools foster mutual understanding, strengthening the emotional bond between you both. We will also focus on improving your communication skills. Many relationship conflicts arise from miscommunication or ineffective communication patterns. Through therapy, you will learn how to communicate more clearly and assertively, which will reduce misunderstandings and prevent conflicts from spiraling out of control.
In addition to enhancing your communication, we will work on improving how you resolve conflicts. Conflict is a natural part of any relationship, but it's how you handle it that truly matters. We will identify any unhealthy conflict patterns you might have, such as avoidance or aggression, and replace them with healthier alternatives.
By addressing the core issues and developing these essential skills, you'll be building a stronger foundation for a healthier and more fulfilling relationship. Together, we'll embark on this journey towards deeper emotional connection and effective communication, helping you both thrive as a couple.
Co-Parenting After Separation & Blending New Families
Whether your relationship has ended or you’re navigating the transition of bringing new families together, therapy can be a powerful tool to support you through it.
Co-parenting isn’t easy, specially when emotions are high, roles are shifting, or you’re figuring out how to parent across households. Therapy offers a safe, neutral space to talk through what’s working, what’s not, and how to move forward in a way that supports both the adults and the children involved.
For those separating, we’ll help you untangle the emotional and logistical complexities with clarity and compassion. If you’re staying in each other’s lives as co-parents, we’ll focus on respectful communication, shared parenting values, and building routines that put your children first.
And if you’re blending families, stepping into roles as bonus parents, redefining family structures, or finding your rhythm in a new household, we’re here to help you create connection and stability along the way.
No matter what stage you're in, we'll work with you to build a foundation of cooperation, mutual respect, and emotional safety, for your well-being and your family's. Reach out today to start creating your new normal, whatever that may look like!
